SHELTER FOR POULTRY.
A House That Combines Cheapncss, Co
ycnicnce and Comfort.

A House That Combines Cheapncss, Con-
vcnicnce and Comfort.
If you would avoid roup and kindred
disease among your fowls, you must be
prepared for their proper care and at
tention.
You can not safely crowd your pets
into confined and limited quarters,
neither can you safely allow them to
roam and roost Mt large, in trees, upon
fences, and in open sheds at their own
sweet wills.
A proper home must be provided for
their winters comfort. This does not
precrbe that the same must be elabor-
ate and expensive. An expensive
poultry house is not necessarily any
more comfortable than would be one of
more modest pretenses. As far rs we
have observed, the cheaper sort of
houses are generally the more comfort
able.
Most beginners make their first mis-
take in the matter of buildings-beauty
being preferred to comfort and utility.
What is wanted is cheapness, combined
with durability, comfort and conyen-
iencc.
For winter purposes, and to accom-
modate surplus stock, the cheapest pos
sible style of house is all sufficient.
A safe and cheap one would be sort
of clean to-" built against the poultry
house or outbuiidings, which could be
removed in the spring, or rs soon rs
the surplus stock has been disposed of,
and can be constructed at but little if
any expense. especially to farmers.
Take any sort of old lumber, rails or
poles, and lean them against the build
ing where you desire the fowls to roost,
and batten them closely; and that the
interior may be perfectly comfortable,
and frost proof, cover with straw or
fodder.
Such retreat can be built by any
one possessed of pair of good stout
arms and legs, and that, too, without
the outlay OF any extreme amount of
cash capital, and requires but little if
any mechanical ability.
The longer these structures are made,
and the thicker they are covered with
straw or fodder, the more comfortable
will be the fowls. Jack Frost has but
little to do about such retreat, and
the birds will come out all right in the
spring with nice bright red combs and
wattles, and will have contributed their
share to the winters S supply of eggs

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Styles of Dress and Materials which Map
lie Considered Elegant.

bc SOnSiuereu tsicghnts
Exceptionally stylish oro the very
long Spanish polonaiscs worn upon the
promenade, made of dark blue, green,
golden brown, gray, or dark Venetian
red broadcloth. These polanaiscs fall
in straight, undraped lines and cover
the dress completely even to its mar
row foot-pleoting. Many of these gar
monts are severely pain in style, being
finished simply with band of black
bear-skin Mt tho neck and upon tho
edge of the half-opcn sleeves cut a In
sabot Other polonaises are garnitured
with appliques in silk cord Gn which
tufts of fur are introduceD, fur girdles
and cpaulcts or cape collars in seal
skin or beaver Persian lamb-skin,
blue fox and lynx are also used to dec
crate. Much unnecessary weight is
given to these otherwise desirable gar
mcnts by the superiluous addition of
very wide bands of fur around the bot
tom of the polonaisc where no addi-
tionnl warmth is required. 1t is not an
uncommon sight to see gown or gar
ment weighted upon the skirt portion
with yards of heavy fur, while around
tho throat, chest and wrists, where it is
really needed, there is not even n tiny
edge of the fur-braid-work being sub
sttutcd.
Checked and plaided Scotch tweeds,
rough-surfaccd mcltons, tuftcd scrges,
homospm fabrics, coarse all-wool
camel s-hair goods, and like materials
are the textiles for those who aspire to
the every Epglish' in dress. French
women, however, still elect for tho
soft-draping, clinging India cashmcros,
silk-warp Henrietta cloths vigogncs,
limousines and other exquisitcly fine
woolens which they consider far moro
elegant and refined. Similar ideas
prevail, however, in the matter of the
cut, fit and finish of either fabric. In
every case the fancy gilct corsagc has
quite usurped the plain bodice, and
every device is resorted TO to break tho
monotony of prim ungraceful lines and
inartistic drapings around the figure.
Bodiccs in score of fanciful shapes
are constantly appearing, and added 10
the wide sash drapings and odd
tournure effects are many charming
little accessories which do so much 20

SELECTING A COW.
Suggestions That VIII Aid Novice In Buy
ing Satisfactorily.

Suggestions That VIII Aid Novice In Buy
Ing Satisfactorily.
We are called on to give the points
of good cow and some suggestions
that will aid a novice in buying salts
factorily.
A COW is in her prime when she is
from four to six years old, and
the best paying time to buy
is just after the birth Of her Sec
ond or third calf. Prominence and
fullncss of milk veins and vclvety soft
ness of skin are good indications. Tho
milk veins should run down ON either
side toward the udder, be easily per-
ccptiblc to the eye, or readily found by
pressure of the hand. Their hair
should not be hard, rough, or staring.
Symmetry, fullncss and softness of the
udder, which should be well spread
out, projecting behind the legs. and
also reaching we'll forward under the
belly; it should feel soft and thin to
the touch, and an absence of ileshincss
and thickness. The number and con-
dition of the teats should be natural;
if ono tcat is lacking, a fourth less milk
will be the result A cows udder is
not. ms some suppose, q barrel with
four taps, but is divided into four diff
ferent compartments, called milk
glands, each of which has its own tap
or toat. 1t is not only important that
the full number of teats be present and
in working order. but it is desirable
that they be well placed, not crowded
together, but well apart, and at nearly
equal distances apart; they should
be rather long and tapcring. Another
important point is quictness and docil-
ity of disposition. These qualities arc
indicated by large, mild, clear eyes.
and an air of contentment generally.
A COW that is quiet and contcnted feeds
at ease, chews her cud with entire sat
isfaction, and will secreto more milk
than restless. turbulent animal. even
II it has similar milking charactcris-

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

sell it-and if you don't.
Preserved Ginger: Select young
and tender roots; scrapo off the outer

1t is certainly poor management to
keep sheep all winter, taking pains to
feed and shelter so us to obtain n good
growth in flesh and wool, and then in
the spring, just when they need feed
and caro- the most, to turn them out
and let them look out for themselves.

pork than the raw kind, and of rs good

corn must be deducted rs expenses. -

"A poultry raiser up in New York
State makes his hens work for their
victuals. He says: like to feed some
ear corn to my chickens. l feed about
nalf in this way. The ears are thrown
on straw and the birds peck and scratch
away at them. They have to work
hard for every kernel they get; aud
this working keeps them busy and out
of mischief. Besides, it is the working
hen that pays; lazy hen is like n lazy
man.-St Louis Republican.
If the children have already taken
cold and cough, complaining of tight
ness in the chest, try this: Into half
pint of icy cold water dissolve
tcaspoonful of salt; battle the chest
with this, applying with cloth, sponge

towel. The glow that will appear will
not be merely external, but will extend
throughout the body, giving a feeling

CARBUNoLE.- Tannin is claimed to be
aspecific for carbuncle. The dry powder
should be sprinkled on as long as it will
dissolve. Every day the carbuncle should
be washed and resprinkled with tannin.
1t is said that under this treatment the
carbuncle soon heals and without much
pain.-Medtcal World.
WARM FEET.-C Children and all feeble
folk whose feet become cold in bed,
should be provided with foot blanket.
An ordinary wooden blanket will make
four if cut in two and then across at right
angles; hem or bind the edges and the
blankets are ready for use. To ensure
complete comfort, warm the blankets at
bedtime. The habit most children and
many adults have Of drawing up the
limbs in bed for greater warmth, is bad
one, as when the body is in constrained
position the circulation of the blood is
greatly retarded Children in particular
should be taught to lie straight in bed
and when they sleep in very cold room,
it is but common comfort to give them
foot blanket. 1t is one form of safety to
have warm foot blankets ready for such
members of the family as have been out
in the cold at night. Rubbing the feet
smartly is better than warming them at
a fire. For sick persons warm shoes as
hot as the feet will bear and put them Cd.
